SOLVING IT FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE

C& = C+3 ==> 9& = 9+3 WHICH IS 12
Which means (9&)*3 becomes 12*3

now A*B = (A+B)/B ==> 12*3 = (12+3)/3

Which is 15/3 = 5

thank you

If C& = C + 3, then 9& = 9 + 3 = 12

So, (9&) * 3 = 12 * 3

If the operation * is such that A * B = (A + B)/B, then 12 * 3 = (12 + 3)/3
= 15/3
= 5
